Welcome!  I am an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

My research examines how states cooperate, bargain, and distribute power in international institutions.  I am particularly interested in institutional overlap and competition in global governance, as well as the politics of non-compliance.  My work has been published in International Organization, The Journal of Politics,  Journal of the American Statistical Association, International Studies Quarterly, Review of International Organizations, and Review of International Political Economy.

My other interests include government strategies for managing their domestic and international reputation, governance of emerging technologies, and applied network analysis. I teach courses on international law and cooperation, international organizations, international political economy, and networks in IR.

Prior to starting at UNC, I was an Assistant Professor at Yale University from 2018-2023. I completed a Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University (2018), where I was a recipient of the Fellowship of Woodrow Wilson Scholars. I received a B.A. in International Affairs from the University of Georgia (2008), an M.A. in International Policy Studies from Stanford University (2010), and worked in the Departments of Homeland Security and State from 2010-2012.
